Router

Routers allow Cyberware devices to communicate with and transfer data to each other, as described in Interconnectivity. If connected to a Datajack, all devices linked to the Datajack and router (including external devices) may communicate/transfer data. Each device connected to the router must have a dedicated port. The DNI connection to the brain does not take up a port; connecting to a Datajack or other router does take up a port (on both devices).

Routers cannot be used to connect to devices within a cyberlimb; they require a DNI connection. A cyberlimb DNI may be linked to a router as if it were headware. Routers do not allow a device to be cybernetically controlled; they merely allow the device to communicate with or through other implants. To be cybernetically controlled, the device needs a DNI connection. Routers have a maximum of ten ports (not including the brain).
